Our Balalaika Prima has the traditional 3 strings and measures approximately 27 inches in length. The scale length is 430 mm. The body has the classical triangular shape. The back is slightly bowed and made with stave construction in two tones of rosewood. The darker back contrasts with the light colored wood of the soundboard. The Balalaika strings are tuned above middle C to: A E E (1st-3rd). The 1st string is the thinnest and lays over more frets than the 2nd & 3rd strings. Use a piano or electronic tuner as a reference for tuning. The tension on each tuning peg can be adjusted by tightening or loosing the screw on the top of the peg. To play the left hand notes the strings while the index finger of the right hand strums high on the soundboard near the neck. The dark rosewood on the soundboard is decorative but also protects the soundboard from the strumming. The Balalaika most likely evolved from the Oriental dombra which is still played in present-day Kazakhstan. Knowledge of the dombra most likely spread to Russia by Mongol trade and conquest. After undergoing structural changes the Balalaika was embraced by Russians. It is said that the Balalaika embodies the Russian people's character with its ability to switch from happiness to sadness with ease. It was common for the peasant ballads composed for the Balalaika to irreverently poke fun at the authority of the times. For this reason there were times when the Balalaika was banned by both the Orthodox Church and the State. The instrument enjoyed its greatest folk popularity in the early 18th century. In the later 19th century the instrument underwent a number of changes including the adoption of the classic triangular shape. Reportedly in the late 19th century Vassily Vassilievich Andreyev was responsible for the transition from a folk instrument to a concert instrument. Andreyev's chamber ensemble renamed The Great Russian Imperial Balalaika Orchestra introduced the instrument to cultures outside of Russia. The Instrument was also carried by the common people when they fled Russia at times of war. SPECIAL NOTE: No Warranty on Strings: Manufacturers recommend that you change the strings on your instrument as soon as you receive it. Your instrument has completed a long journey before it ever begins the final leg to your home. During this time the elements affect the strings and may shorten their lifespan. It occasionally happens that a string will fail during that final leg of the journey. Therefore it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings soon after it arrives. If you are a student you may want to change your strings every 3-4 months. If you are a rock star you may need to change your strings every week. If you store your instrument you should consider changing the strings when you pick it up again.Height: 22Width: 0Weight: 34 Minimize

Harmonium Standard Natural. 4 drones (top pulls) and 4 stops (lower pulls) to direct the air over the upper or lower reeds. Fixed keyboard integral bellows and dozens of sound combinations. Finish color and decoration style may vary from photo. The Harmoniums are not meant to be played in concert like a mini organ. The reeds in the harmonium are tuned to sound well together not necessarily with other instruments. As such they are not in concert pitch and are not meat to be. Harmonium tuning does not reflect the Western Scale and is not meant to. This is instrument was introduced to India by the British. It has been embraced and is now a truly Indian instrument used as accompaniment in devotional songs. As with many Indian instruments the key for the music is selected to best suite the vocals or to set a mood. Traditionally Harmoniums are usually higher pitched if compared to the Western Scale. DISCLAIMER: Shellac is very impressionable no pun intended. During the long transportation from India the shellac finish becomes marred by the packing materials. These impressions are superficial and cosmetic. Impressions on the finish do not affect the playability or sound.Height: 28Width: 0Weight: 49 Minimize

The Sabian Legacy Ride delivers an articulate dark trashy sound. The light crashable Sabian Legacy Ride Cymbal delivers stick definition wash and darkness with an unlathed control band' limiting tonal spread. With its innovative "Tone Texture" sound Legacy was created in collaboration with Dave Weckl and joins the award-winning HHX Evolution as the legendary young drummer's choice of cymbal sound. Legacy is a deeper darker contrast to the brighter sound of Evolution. Weckl who plays Legacy on their own or mixes them with Evolution models said "Legacy is the darker side of my sound. These cymbals are vibrant trashy and beautiful... all at once. 'Tone Texture' gives these cymbals a great deal of dark musical color that encompasses the full tonal spectrum but digs way down deep for a broader more complex tonal personality. The Legacy Ride has great articulation over a dark cushion of sound... . The 'tone texture' of these cymbals makes Legacy a compelling consideration for any drummer looking for sounds that offer a new richness to their playing.

Fun lightweight and easy to play our Wildwood Dulcimer has the rich sound of a mountain dulcimer with just a little bit of banjo twang. The body style of the Wildwood allows it to be played like a guitar instead of the traditional "flat in the lap" position of the mountain dulcimer. The teardrop spruce soundboard with three rosettes stands out in contrast to the long thin rosewood fingerboard. Choose between a dark rosewood or a creamy lacewood back. The Wildwood has three string courses: a wound string at the top an unwound center string and two unwound strings tuned in unison at the bottom. Many tunings will work but we recommend the traditional DAD to make it easy to pick up and play. The frets are arranged in a diatonic scale just like an Appalachian mountain dulcimer but added is the infamous "6" fret just below the octave position allowing play in Ionian mode. The possibilities are many playing the Wildwood Dulcimer can as easy or as complicated as you care to make it. Explore!Special Note: The strings put on the instruments in our workshops while playable are put through some rigorous testing. They should probably be replaced for improved playability sound quality and better tuning shortly after you receive the instrument. For your convenience we offer Roosebeck Wildwood Dulcimer strings and you can order them here.Height: 39Width: 0Weight: 32 Minimize

The BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer is the most popular of the BBE line of SONIC MAXIMIZERS?. With the patented BBE Process music has a great "live presence". Unlike some "exciter" devices which add artificial harmonics to the signal BBE adds nothing artificial but instead restructures it to faithfully allow all the detail and nuance to be heard. Highs frequencies are clear naturally brilliant and finely detailed. Lows are tight well defined and harmonically rich. Electric and acoustic guitars have sparkle clarity and definition. BBE brings out the harmonic complexity so each note of a chord becomes more distinct. Electric & acoustic basses take on a rich earthy "CD" sound. BBE yields extremely tight punchy bottom end without sacrificing the presence clarity and bite on the top end. Keyboards and synthesizers take on new realism. Percussive and plucked sounds are clear and sharp; chords are rich and full-textured with each note in the chord retaining its integrity. Vocals cut through the amplified instruments so you?re no longer "buried in the mix". Sound contractors know that vocal intelligibility is paramount to a successful PA installation and client satisfaction. No other audio processor brings natural clarity and crisp definition to the spoken word like BBE does. That's why BBE Sonic Maximizer processors can be found installed in PA systems ranging from the massive network in New York's JFK airport to the thousands of houses of worship around the world. Recording studios use BBE on individual tracks mixdown and of course in mastering. Mixes with BBE are fresh and sparkly restoring instrument clarity and vocal intelligibility without appreciably adding level. BBE improves effect processing by expanding the spatial dimension of stereo reverb and chorus. Whether in an individual instrument rack or across a full mix BBE makes a dramatic improvement in the quality of effects and neutralizes their tendency to muffle instrument and vocal characteristics.Height: 6Width: 0Weight: 5 Minimize
